Nichijou NHK-E Episode Composition

Last last year, the television station NHK announced that they were planning to air a revised version of the anime show Nichijou on their educational stations throughout Japan. They aired this revised version of the show from 2012/01/07 to 2012/03/24 and it was in such high demand that they re-aired it in June. Now, this version of the show has been listed to be released as a “Director’s Cut” version DVD-BOX. I’ve not seen anyone detail about how the series was re-organized, so I thought a post detailing the segments would be a good reference. I’m citing the information from Shinkai’s blog and have taken screencaps from Random Curiosity (I watched via Crunchyroll, so I have no way to take screencaps).

I’m debating importing the DVD-Box, so you might look for me to review it in December once I have some free time after a busy semester. I admit, it was fun reflecting on Nichijou as I gathered the information for this post. Hope it’s interesting and provides a source for anyone curious about the re-making of the series into only 12 episodes.

Wow, this is very interesting! I had heard that Nichijou was aired more than once, but I didn’t realize they did some kind of crazy random order jumble mish-mash dilapidated version for the reruns. (Which, of course, is probably fitting for Nichijou.)

It’s not only fitting, but it more resembles the original source with the randomness. They took almost all the strong segments and made (in my opinion) a better show. This could’ve sold very well on 6 BD/DVD volumes. The un-aired skits were typically added for the BD/DVD releases, so check for subs of those if you’d like to see them (or import the box since no one posted NHK raws).
